The first one is without editing in Lightroom and the 2nd is after editing. Any idea as to why?

See this for an explanation:

360 Pano Support in Adobe Camera Raw 11.4

Great video and information by Russell Brown. Examples in video made with RICOH THETA Z1 RAW format image. 360 Pano Support in Adobe Camera Raw - This new feature in ACR 11.4 eliminates an old issue that caused a seam to form when using many of the adjustments in ACR. Update to the new ACR today from the Adobe Creative Cloud.

Conclusion: Edit the DNG images and stitch afterwards!
